Bright Light in This dark world


"Ye are the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid."
........Matthew 5: 14
*^*^*^*^^*^^*^*^*^*^*^

Jesus is our Lighthouse and the source of all light.  We are all called to be bright lights
 in a dark world.   When a city is set on a hill, it  shines brightly for miles and all can
 see the light.  We are to let our light shine that others may see Jesus and He
will be glorified.  Light is symbolic of truth and life and without Jesus in our life,
 we would have no light. He lights up our life with his love and we are called to share
his love with others.

We give thanks unto God for sending his Light unto this world.  Because of the darkness
 of sin, Jesus came  to bring love, light, and hope that we might have eternal life.
Our earthly vessels are likened unto a ship sailing on the seas of time.  Just as a ship
 must have the guidance of light to navigate it's course, we must also have the light of
our Lord to guide us as we walk through this world.  There is no way we could stay
on the right path towards eternal life and home without the guidance of the Lord.

There are many today who walk in the darkness of sin.  Many have not
received this marvelous light and have no hope for the future.  We have light
within and when all glory is given to the Lord, God's light will draw
others to Jesus.  There is help for the vilest sinner and hope for the hopeless with
the One who can still calm the raging sea and speak "peace be still".

May we always seek to be 'light bearers' and realize we can do nothing without
this light of the Lord.  His light illuminates as it warms hearts with truth, love and life.
God is light, life, love and all we could ever need.  With Him, we can do all things by faith
as He strengthens us daily.  May we be  'beacons of truth' as we seek to let our lights shine daily.
